I have only just discovered that Hacker News is worth following. Since the feed of stuff I read is Twitter, that would be @newsycombinator. I started going back through the Twitter feed a few hours ago and my brain is sizzling. Note that I am not a coder at all, I’m a Unix sysadmin. Work as any sort of computer person? You should have a look.
The YC/HN community was initially built on Paul Graham’s essays, just like LW was built on Eliezer’s sequences. Those essays are really, really good. If you haven’t read them already, here’s a linky, start from the bottom.
I have known about Hacker News for ages, mentally filing it away as yet another Internet news aggregation site. However, I just happened to look at @newsycombinator and was quite surprised at how much of it was gold.
It is another news aggregation service, but it just happens to be the best :). There is a credible hypothesis that it’s not as good as it used to, as well. But it’s still head and shoulders over everything else (minus LW). I also came to OB via HN if I recall correctly.

I have indeed :-)
It’s annoying that @newsycombinator is to the linked pages themselves, not to the Hacker News discussion.
I actually got to OB/LW through Hacker News.
